LADDER SAFETY APPARATUS
A ladder attachment may allow a ladder to securely rest on a corner of a structure, structure corners, tree, or the like. The attachment may be attached to the rung of a ladder via several mounting brackets and mounting flanges. The attachment includes first and second arms which may be arranged at about a 90° angle to allow the positioning a ladder on the corner of the structure or oddly shaped structures during use.
LADDER STABILIZER
A ladder stabilizer for step ladders and extension ladders. The ladder stabilizer is collapsible for storage. Additionally, the ladder stabilizer includes legs that are adjustable in length and pivotally secured to a rigid lateral support. The rigid lateral support also carries a step plate secured by a hinge to the lateral support. The step plate provides the point of engagement between the ladder stabilizer and a rung of the ladder.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SECURING A LADDER
A ladder anchoring system utilizing a ground anchoring device and a series of strap assemblies to secure the ladder in position and hold the ladder tightly against both the ground surface and the associated structure to prevent tipping or falling. Further, the ladder anchor system of the present disclosure is quickly and easily installed and/or adjusted to allow for ease of manufacturing, assembly, and/or use thereof.
Ladder stand and activity rail assembly
A tree stand includes an activity rail assembly rotatably attached to a chair. The activity rail assembly is rotatable among a first stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented upright, a second stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented downwardly, and one or more deployed positions between the first stowed position and the second stowed position. The activity rail assembly is extendable and retractable between a first position and a second position, wherein when the activity rail assembly is in the first position, a horizontal activity rail portion is closer to the chair than when the activity rail assembly is in the second position. The tree stand may further include a platform to support the chair, and, optionally, a ladder portion to support the platform.
Ladder safety stabilizer
A ladder safety stabilizer is a telescopically adjustable device that attaches to the rung of a ladder on one end and to the building that the ladder is leaning against at the other end to prevent the feet of the ladder from sliding while a user is climbing, and to provide a second stabilization point in addition to the feet of the ladder to provide greater ladder stability, increased safety, and reduced accident risk.
LADDER STAND AND ACTIVITY RAIL ASSEMBLY
A tree stand includes an activity rail assembly rotatably attached to a chair. The activity rail assembly is rotatable among a first stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented upright, a second stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented downwardly, and one or more deployed positions between the first stowed position and the second stowed position. The activity rail assembly is extendable and retractable between a first position and a second position, wherein when the activity rail assembly is in the first position, a horizontal activity rail portion is closer to the chair than when the activity rail assembly is in the second position. The tree stand may further include a platform to support the chair, and, optionally, a ladder portion to support the platform.
LADDER FASCIA CLAMP AND LOCK
A clamping device for securing a ladder to a structure including a housing having a first, ladder end, and a second, building end opposite the ladder end, the housing defining an internal cavity. The clamping device utilizes a clamp with a housing end disposed within the housing and an opposite, grip end configured for releasable attachment to the structure. The clamp laterally reciprocates relative to the housing between an extended position and a retracted position. Additionally, the clamping device also includes a ladder hook associated with the ladder end of the housing for releasable engagement with the ladder, and an actuator associated with the housing and configured for causing lateral reciprocation of the clamp relative to the housing.
Carrier, and related systems and methods
A carrier comprises a frame coupleable with a ladder in a first position and a second position, and a harness that one can wear to hold the frame to himself/herself. In the first position, the frame supports the ladder when one carries the frame. In the second position, the frame and ladder, together, support one when one sits on the frame. The carrier's frame includes a first member that holds the ladder when the frame is in the first position, and a second member that supports a person sitting on the frame when the frame is in the second position. With the ability to position the carrier's frame in a first position and a second position, one can use the carrier to carry a ladder to and from where one will be working without having to use one or both of one's hands. This allows one to use both hands and/or arms to carry one's tools and supplies to where one will be working. Then, later in the day, one can use the same carrier to sit on while taking a break.
SAFETY ATTACHMENT FOR LADDERS
A safety attachment which is used to stabilize a straight ladder or an extension ladder, comprising: a main body, which contains an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion and the lower portion are connected to each other; the upper portion can be attached to the ladder, and the lower portion can stably contact ground surface; a plate, which is fixed on the main body, and a first loop is fixed on the plate; and at least one rope, which has one connector located on both ends of the rope respectively, and one of the connectors is used to detachably attach to the first loop to let the rope connect to the main body, another one of connectors is used to detachably attach to a second horizontal bar on the ladder to let the rope connect to the ladder.
LADDER STABILIZATION SYSTEM
The invention generally relates to a stabilization system for securing and stabilizing a ladder so as to prevent unintended movement or shifting of the ladder feet during use.
